The Treaty of Invisibility
MANNEQUIN

After the 5th night, the neighbors one by one left Mahmud's house. There were only four neighbors besides Abah Dul and Ustad Arifin who were still sitting casually chatting in the living room with a mat. Since the first day of tahlilan, the living room was indeed made as a place of tahlil with a mat. While the living room chair is moved on the terrace next to the house.

30 Minutes later after a chat, the four men simultaneously went home. At last in the house of Mahmud only lived three of them, namely Mahmud, Abah Dul and Ustad Arifin. Shortly after the four neighbors left Mahmud's house, Dewi appeared in the living room offering a drink.

“Mas maybe someone wants to make coffee or tea?” ask the Goddess to Mahmud.

Mahmud immediately turned to offer Abah Dul and Ustad Arifin, “Well, ustad want to make what?”

“Ane coffee Wi,” sahut Abah Dul.

“Ustad?” timpal Mahmoud's.

“I tea tubruk aja,” sahut ustad Arifin.

“Coffee two yes Wi, same me. O Yes Arin has slept?” ask Mahmud.

“It seems to have slept mas, he has entered the room from earlier,” replied Dewi.

“I make a drink first,” continued Dewi then passed from the living room.

I don't think time is approaching 24:00 wib. After the Goddess made a drink, she said goodbye to Mahmud and the others to go to sleep. The sounds of crickets and frogs are very clear and unpretentious to break the atmosphere of the night that feels sultry at the felt by Abah Dul, ustad Arifin and Mahmud.

“What would rain, how to be so sultry like this,” said Mahmud.

“Rain? The weather is bright there is no cloudy at all, Mud!” timpal Ustad Arifin's.

Abah Dul looks restless in his sitting, sometimes he dings like looking for something but I don't know what in the way. Abah Dul's anxiety was finally known to Mahmud and Ustad Atifin after both of them accidentally turned to Abah Dul because they had no voice.

“Why Bah?” Ask Mahmud.

“Let's what a bah?!” follow ustad Arifin wonder.

“No idea, my feelings are so deg-degan gini,” replied Abah Dul.

“What time is Mud?” Abah Dul asked back.

Mahmud then turned his head to look at the wall clock in the middle room, then replied; “Jam 12. 09 bah,”

“I take water wudlu first, I think this hunch is not good.” Said Abah Dul.

Abah Dul got up from his seat and was about to step into the bathtub to leave, but just one step Abah's body suddenly fell back sitting down while bending her body, and she was still there, his hand held his stomach while groaning in pain.

"Astagfirefull!" pekik ustad Arifin's.

"Astagfireullah! Why bah?!" follow Mahmud.

Abah Dul who groaned like pain bent his body while holding his stomach, Mahmud and Arifin's ustad immediately guided him to a more comfortable position while strengthening his body. But Abah Dul again bent his body.

"Aakhh... It hurts Mud, ustad!" erang Abah Dul while holding his stomach tightly.

"Ustad, how is this ustad!" pekik Mahmud panicked.

Ustad Arifin was just as panicked, trying to figure out the cause and overcome it.

Inside the hut which was dimmed by the light bias of the torch from outside the side of the door, Ki Suta sat cross-legged facing the censer and a pile of flowers in front of him. The distinctive smell of incense coming out of the smoke in the incense felt thick stinging filled the room of the wooden hut.

Ki Suta looked as though I was closing his eyes, slowly but firmly he was unceasingly reciting the incantation. His voice shook slowly but was very clearly heard in the middle of the midnight silence. A moment later his body suddenly shook violently, along with it suddenly appeared a fierce whirling wind carrying a fishy smell piercing the nose.

"Present...! come..hadirlah...!" ki Suta shouted.

Suddenly the gust of wind increasingly spinning violently enveloped Ki Suta's body, before long there was the sound of the door hutkan Ki Suta wide open. Faintly among the dimness of the torchlight appeared a terrible figure moving casually into the hutkan. His his hissing sound was very clear to break the silence of the night forest slopes of Mount Ng beat the sahutan-sahutan nocturnal animals in the distance.

The figure that entered the hut was a huge snake that was very creepy. His body was jet black, his eyes burning red medium from between the corners of his mouth sticking out pointed fangs. Occasionally his branching tongue protrudes in and out between his fangs.

"Ssssssssssssssshhhh...."

His sighs were increasingly heard in Ki Suta's ears. Ki Suta's body increasingly vibrated feeling a rubbery object wriggling around his body but the winding was like providing protection instead of a preying twine. The head of the black snake stuck out to face Ki Suta.

"Wcsssssshhhh.... What's up Suta. sssssssshhhh.." the sound of a black snake shakes Ki Suta's ear.

"Nyi Kanti, kill the man called Abah Dul. Follow this energy I sent you to guide you!" ki Suta's Order.

"Ssssssssssshhhh... good Suta, sssssssssssshhhh.." black snake reply.

Ki Suta's mouth immediately komat-kamit reciting a spell, and a moment later from the palm of Ki Suta appeared a red light as big as a circle of chicken eggs. The light slightly illuminated the figure of the jet-black and slimy snake that enveloped Ki Suta's body.

"Follow this light!" ki Suta's orders on the black snake.

Red light floated for a moment in front of the eyes of Ki Suta da Nyi Kanti the black snake. Then the light as big as a chicken egg shot up through the roof of the hut followed by the black snake below and disappeared.

......................

In the living room, Abah Dul who was chatting casually while sitting on a mat with Mahmud and ustad Arifin felt uneasy and uncomfortable. His chest was pounding so much that Abah Dul decided to leave and recite. But without anyone realizing the red light and black snake darted into the body of Abah Dul who was about to step intending to take water wudlu. Abah Dul immediately collapsed to his knees while holding his stomach that was painful and his chest felt tight.

“Ustad, how about ustad!” pekik Mahmud panicked.

Ustad Arifin also seemed panicked, confused what to do to help Abah Dul who was in pain. A few seconds of panic and tension made Mahmud and Ustad Arifin stuck without doing anything. But the next second, Arifin awoke from his panic and immediately recited prayers. Arifin's lips trembled with a reading that sounded like reciting some letters of the Quran, which began with the letters of Al Ikhlas, Al Falaq, An nas and ended with the letter of Al Fatihah.

After finishing reading the verses of the Quran then ustad Arifin rubbed his palms while blowing it, then his palm was attached to the stomach of Abah Dul who sat slightly bent.

“Allahu Akbar!!” arifin's ustad jolt along with his palm pressed down.

“Hegkhhh.!” abah Dul's body was stunned, then looked like he was about to vomit.

“Hoekkh.. hoekkhh.

Mahmud and Arifin were caught watching Abah Dul spewing blackish-red blood from his mouth twice. But instead of Abah Dul's condition improving, precisely Abah Dul looks increasingly painful. Seeing Abah Dul's reaction made Mahmud and Ustad Arifin more anxious and panicked.

In the midst of panic, Mahmud just remembered that he could see supernatural beings thanks to Mr. Denta who opened his inner eyes. Then Mahmud exclaimed, “Inner eyes!”

After saying that, Mahmud gasped, his face growing more panicked and frightened. Mahmud saw clearly, the figure of a black snake was wrapped around Abah Dul's stomach. Mahmud continued to jump in shock, he inching back his seat with a deathly pale face.
